Aircraft Structural Testing Based on Digital PID Controller

Author: Anjana Joshi

Abstract: Structural testing of aircraft components involves extensive use of electro hydraulic actuators. Electro hydraulic actuators can be operated in either load or position control modes. For precise control of load and position, feedback elements such as a load cell and potentiometer are used respectively. Structural testing of aircraft structural components mainly involves the simulation of aerodynamic loads. Aerodynamic loads are applied using Electro-hydraulic servo actuators.
